A documentary featuring Richard Branson and his children sailing across the Atlantic will air this Autumn on Virgin 1.
One-off show The Bransons: Come Hell Or High Water will follow Richard, daughter Holly and son Sam as they attempt to break the record for crossing the ocean in a mono-hull sailing boat.
Speaking about the hour-long programme, Branson said: "It's so difficult to explain what you experience during a record-breaking attempt whether it is at sea or in the air, so it's great to have documentary film maker onboard to share the highs and lows.
"Strange thing for a father to wish for his kids to experience - but at least we'll be in it together!"
The Bransons is the highlight of Virgin 1's Autumn/Winter schedule, which also sees returns for American series Chuck, The Riches and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.
Other programmes on the schedule include popular HBO animated comedy The Life And Times Of Tim and a fly-on-the-wall series based in Mallorca called Sun, Sea and A&E.
The lineup also features My Holiday Hostage Hell, which tells real life horror stories about British holidaymakers, reality series Britain's Worst Learners and Gethin Jones' Danger Hunters, factual entertainment show Prisoner X and fishing documentary The North Sea, which is produced by the makers of the award-winning Deadliest Catch.
